Bartonella spp. are stealth bacterial pathogens. A One Health approach to this emerging infection is defining disease manifestations, establishing the comparative disease pathogenesis for these bacterial pathogens, providing insights into effective treatment regimens, and elucidating strategies to prevent zoonotic disease transmission from animals to humans. Dogs and humans develop nearly identical types of pathology when infected with a Bartonella spp. As such, defining the role of these bacteria in dogs with hemangiosarcoma may provide important comparative oncology lessons for veterinary and human medicine. In this presentation Dr. Breitschwerdt will discuss Bartonella spp. and what we know about the relationship between infection with this bacteria and hemangiosarcoma in dogs.

The horse stands alone as one of the most challenging of species cared for by veterinary professionals. Their size, strength, and intelligence, as well as the depth of their bond with the humans with whom they share their lives require a different level of attunement, attention, and skill - especially at the end of life. This first segment of a 4-part series will include perspectives regarding the current thinking on equine quality of life (QOL), with an emphasis on the importance of differentiating QOL from both equine welfare and the concept of dignity. Discussion will include both subjective and objective considerations regarding the horse's basic needs, individual variations, as well as the psychosocial needs of both the horse and horse owner.
